Zhou Yu's answer quickly made Liu Zheng interested.

"Oh? Speak up and tell the teacher what you think. ”

Before Liu Zheng asked Zhou Yu, he had actually discussed it with Guo Jia.

The method he discussed with Guo Jia was not difficult.

Instead, when the Karasuma and Xianbei forces were not grasped, the first thing to do was to fight steadily.

First, a large army was sent to Jizhou to fight with Yuan Xi's men and horses. Delay for some time, and it will take months or half a year to go back and forth.

While fighting with Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, he sent men and horses into the enemy's territory to inquire about the news, anyway, Liu Zheng's scouts, Jinyiwei had already started their activities in the north, and now they were more or less able to further explore some things that they had not known before.

There was enough time for Liu Zheng to understand some specific situations between Yuan Xi and the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people, and to grasp the strength they had and how much danger they could bring to Liu Zheng.

As long as he grasps these circumstances and then deals with Yuan Xi, Liu Zheng will be sure.

It's just that if you want to do this, you will resist with Yuan Xi in Jizhou, and the time consumption of half a year will be relatively large.

Of course, although this delay is relatively long, it is a more conservative method, and if a large number of troops are stationed in the north, they can also try to block Yuan Xi and the Karasuma Xianbei people, the alliance of these northern alien races, and prevent these alien races from invading the Central Plains.

If you want to be more aggressive, you will send these soldiers and horses to support Jizhou to take the initiative to attack and confront Yuan Xi and these northern aliens on the grassland, but in this case, Liu Zheng feels that the chances of winning are not great.

After all, these soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng are not good at fighting the enemy army on the grassland.

First, they are not people from the northern region, and when the north is cold in winter, this geographical location and environment will not be advantageous.

Second, they also lack experience in fighting in the north, and the north is already a flat geographical environment. Ideal for cavalry raids.

Although Liu Zheng had a cavalry under him, there were not many of them. If you take the initiative, you can't bring Liu Zheng great confidence.

The slightest carelessness may also capsize in the gutter.

Once there is a rout, it will not just destroy a single army of soldiers and horses, but will bring morale and a blow to the morale of the hundreds of thousands of troops.

When the time comes, Liu Zheng will be supported, and the soldiers and horses in the entire north will be slumped, and it will be the end.

Therefore, it is a more prudent way to pay attention to defense and wait for opportunities to attack.

And what exactly does Zhou Yu have to say?

No matter what he said, it made Liu Zheng curious, wanting to know what kind of measures the young Zhou Yu had to deal with these northern nomads.

When Zhou Yu heard Liu Zheng's inquiry, he didn't have any doubts, and immediately answered Liu Zheng.

"Master, in fact, it is very simple to break Yuan Xi, since we already know that Yuan Xi will carry a large army to attack Jizhou, then we are sure that his nest in Youzhou must be empty."

"If we send a part of our troops to contain Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and then send a team to kill directly through the Bohai Sea to the land of Liaoxi, and then surprise attack the nest of Youzhou, cut off Yuan Xi's back road, and lose the rear supply, Yuan Xi, who knows that the nest has been intercepted, will definitely be in chaos, and the crisis of attacking Jizhou will be solved."

Zhou Yu's opening was a radical move.

made Liu Zhengdu's eyes light up when he heard this plan.

"Surprise attack on the nest of Youzhou, your method is not bad. But even if Yuan Xi would send a large army to attack Jizhou, it would be impossible for Youzhou to be completely free of soldiers and horses. ”

"He only needs to keep a few thousand soldiers and horses, and it is not so easy for our people to break the nest of Youzhou."

In fact, Liu Zheng didn't think about doing this.

It's too difficult to do that.

In the past, Liu Zheng might have considered this approach.

It's like a gambler, after all. When your bankroll is small, you are more inclined to bet small and big.

And when you have a lot of wealth, you don't choose to take risks, but prefer to go the safe way.

After all, although risks and benefits coexist, stable returns are the way to last.

The current Liu Zheng is different from the original Liu Zheng.

If Liu Zheng was just the former commander of the Yellow Turban Army, he would have chosen to lead his soldiers and horses to attack Luoyang without hesitation.

may be when Liu Zheng is already the emperor of a country who controls half of the world.

He will handle many things more securely, and he will no longer be willing to take risks.

What he wants is stability, what he needs is to eliminate Yuan Xi at the lowest cost, not to eradicate him in the fastest way.

But Zhou Yu and Sun Ce and others are young and vigorous, and their gambling capital is smaller, so they like to point their fingers at the edge and are willing to take risks to win the greatest profits.

In addition, there is youthfulness, more self-confidence, and sharpness.

It makes Zhou Yu's idea even bolder.

"Master, because this matter is difficult to do, we will never do this, then Yuan Xi must think the same way, so he will not leave too many soldiers and horses in the lair! And this happens to be an opportunity for us! ”

"And I have already calculated before, Master, I only need 3,000 men and horses, after coming to Youzhou, I will pretend to be Yuan Xi's soldiers who have withdrawn from the front line, and I can open the city gate by fraud, and 3,000 soldiers and horses will enter the city, and I will definitely be able to win or lose in a battle!"

Zhou Yu was worried that Liu Zheng still had some doubts, and added a sentence to Liu Zheng after explaining.

"Master, if you don't worry about this matter, Sun Ce and I can go and promise to help the master seize Youzhou!"

"In the past, there was Huo Quai, at the age of 17, he led 800 people deep into the desert, twice won the whole army, and was named the champion Hou, and now I have Zhou Yu, leading 3,000 soldiers to attack and kill Yuan Xi and disintegrate Xianbei. It will definitely be able to cover the whole army as well! ”

At this time, Zhou Yu was quite confident, and even compared himself with Hou Huo, the former champion of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is also Huo Quai's wolf Juxu, which is the highest glory of a general, and a military general wants to follow Huo Quai's example and become a wolf juxu.

Zhou Yu regards Huo Qubing as his goal, but it is worth encouraging.

In addition, one Zhou Yu may not be good, but with Sun Ce's complementarity, if the two join forces, plus 3,000 soldiers and horses, it should be a trivial matter to break a city.

It's not too difficult, Zhou Yu took the initiative to bring it up, so Liu Zheng was somewhat moved.

He looked at Guo Jia, who was secretly drinking in the carriage.

I would like to ask Guo Jia what he means.

Guo Jia also saw Liu Zheng looking at him, but immediately put down the wine that he was about to put in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Feng Xiao thinks that what Zhou Yu's junior brother said has some truth."
